We now ship a spring-modulith-starter-core that includes dependencies that will typically be used for core runtime support, including the spring-modulith-moments and …-api artifacts in compile scope (so that production code can refer to them) as well as both the …-core and …-runtime artifacts in runtime scope (primarily for ApplicationModuleListener support).
The persistence-technology-specific event publication registry starters now refer to that core starter.
Introduce Spring Modulith Actuator module to expose the application module structure as Spring Boot actuator. This required a Spring Modulith Runtime module to be extracted from the Spring Modulith Observability one. The former now contains the auto-configured ApplicationRuntime and ApplicationModulesRuntime bean instances to be able to bootstrap a ApplicationModules asynchronously on application startup. The actuator module then contains a Spring Boot @Endpoint implementation consuming the ApplicationModules to render JSON describing the application module structure.
Adapt to API changes in Micrometer and Spring Boot's test context loader API now exposing a checked ContextLoadException to signal failures during ApplicationContext bootstraps.
Added dedicated prepare-release profile to make sure that all modules get their versions updated on mvn release:prepare. This is required to make sure the tag lands on a commit that especially has the distribution module updated so that the documentation publication actually produces the artifacts for the released version.
Switch to consistent usage of secrets via environment variables. Remove documentation generation from standard build. Some general POM polishing. A bit of release documentation.
Tweak build to contain a dedicated ci build profile for Javadoc creation post delombokification. Added an artifactory build profile to set up Artifactory deployment for milestones and snapshots.
Cleanups in sonatype build profile to avoid the definition of a snapshot repository to avoid snapshots accidentally be deployed there.
